There is ns much difference be tweeu a cnnrcii member nnti n christian as there is between a sa loon keeper and u preacher. Some times more difference. Personally we have seen so much of the evils of the liiiuor business during the past 30 years, so much of its economic waste, so much of its physical ruin, so much of its m-.ntul blight, so much of its tears and heartaches. m much of its bro ken homes and destroyed happiness. so many of its idiots and insane, so liinnv of its ortmans and invalids. without a single redeeming feature; that wc have come to regard the business in the light of the judg mcui 01 me supreme court 111 n de cision handed down last year, that it is unconstitutional, that it is not n legitimate business and that re ally no city or town, nor has the United States n constitutional right to license any man to operate n sa loon.

That is more than we can say of some church members. Thus we "give the devil his due." Hut this does not say that we endorse the saloon keeping business. Wc hate the business us the dev il is said to hate holy water. We hate its every phase. We hate its intolerance, its arrogance, its hyp ocrisy, Its cant, craft iiud false pre tense. We hate it for its greed and avarice, taking the baby's shoes to pay lor the father s drink. We hate it for its sordid love of gain at any price, making its 111011 vy out of the lives and souls of its debauchees. We hate it for its dominion in politics, where it uev cr tans to use its chid in any way that will further its ends.

We hate it for the load it straps upon labor's back, for the palsied hands it gives to toil, for its wounds to genius, for the tragedies of the might-have-beens. We hate it for the lives of men und women that it has sent out in dark ness, We hate it for the alms houses it peoples, for the prisons it fills, for the insanity it begets, for its countless graves in the potters' fields. We hate it for its spiritual blight, its moral degradation, its crimes without number, crimes against nature, crimes against God, hearts it has broken, homes it has destroyed, for the malice it has implanted in the heuits of the men it has poisoned, for the strangled hopes, the scalding tears, the bit terness of despair of helpless wo manhood under its curse.

Will you be We havebeen asked to eive some Kind enougn to puolisu tn your reasons whv an Indenenc etit think-' oblige a er cven though a republican, might paper this clipping and friend of temperance? When the. saloons went out of business in the new state of Okla hotna under the prohibition clause of the constitution, one Guthrie saloon flaunted lone streamers of crape on its doors. In its big plate- glass windows on the last night that it was open, a big barrel, heav ily draped in black was set, with an empty glass beneath its open faucet. On it a large placard was mounted: continue this policy and keep these X "Everything going out and nothing places closed on Sunday. You may 1.V ...... f, " break his record and vote for1 Mr. Manning for district attorney. There are two reasons which would appeal to any man who looked more to the welfare of his country than the success of his party and. the first of these is that John Manning is the man who shut up the saloons on Sunday and has kept them closed. He has prom ised that if he is elected he will Going Out of Business Our entire stock of Furniture BELOW COST. Every article at wholesale and the same price to all. We have a nice stock of furniture to select from and it will pay you to call early and select your choice. Make money for yourself .by help- This was an unusual motto one symbolizing the destruction of its business. Though the saloon keeper did not mean it to do so, it inevitably suggested the usual and fitting saloon motto to be just the opposite, like this: "Everything coming in and nothing going out.' ' The truth of this second motto will be apparent to anyone who has ever watched a saloon entrance. Money goes into the saloon in quantities, day after day strength and respect ability, and decency and youth and promise and hope go in but no one I of them comes out. The saloon swallows and bankrupts them all Nothing conies out but drunkards. Take the biggest and best-conducted saloou in any town, after twenty years of business, and figure up what has conic out of it of value to the commuuity.the answer is always and iuevitably: "Nothing 1" A more unproductive business never existed or can exist than the saloon business.

Our rule is the best stock and best work for our patrotis. , Wc carry fa stock typewritelr paper, carbon paper and onion skin for making duplicate copies. We do not allow any printer to put otit nicer work than we do and we put the best stock into our jobs.- The difference between poor stock and first class stock on a job is a small item when you consider the value of the job. It is the price of a satisfied customer. It is better to make 50 cents less on a job and have a customer who will come back, than to use the flimsy stock, make the extra 50 cents and lose your customer. That is. the way we figure it. hSb' lmmmmmmml ssssssssssuNSsT1' '- ' BP'ssssssssu I To Make a Merry Widow Hat. ing us close out our stock. "I 304 N. Jersey St. See Us WWWWVW WW ww WWW www 304 N.

Next take fifty-three yards of lavender colored ribbon edged with noting how the saloons of the Port land red light district are fighting John Maiming to a man. 1 hey know if he stays in office he will enforce the law and convict every violator against whom he can sc cure evidence, while if they defeat him they believe they will have a more favorable time. Another reason that every man who is looking for a square deal, in these strenuous times in the fitnni' cial world, should vote for John Manning, is the position he took in the late financial disturbance, and the active part he took in the settle ment of the affairs of the banks which failed in Portland, whereby the depositors will eventually re ceive every dollar they placed in these banks. Largely was this the result of Mr. Manning s efforts, and he should have proper credit for it. We arc too apt to forget these tilings in our fidelity to our party interests. This, however, is a matter wherein we may well lay Our Charges. As is customary, we will' charge for card of thanks, 50c; for resolu tions of respect, $1.00; for notices of church or lodge entertainments, suppers, sociables, etc., where there are charges for admission, 5c per line, but where there are no charges for these events, we wilt break the rule and insert them free.

No, we do not believe such men will vote for saloons in St. Johns. They will not prosti tute the power the constitution of the United States gives them to such a base purpose. 1 he claim is made that if we vote the soloons out they will go just outside the city limits and we will have all the evil without the revenue. Vote them out and see. It is up to the people whether we have the evils if we put the evil out. The evil doers will soon tire of the consequences If the citizens enforce the laws.

We wish to call the attention of the voters to the article by Mr. 15, Ward, which puts the saloou ques tion, we think, in the best possible light that it can be presented. We wish our readers to read it carefully and give it the consideration that u subject of such importance de serves, We cannot study this question from too many sides. We cannot give it too great consid eration. lfor there is involved in its solution matters of most vital import to the nation, We trust therefore that every voter will read this article witli the same care and consideration that they have all I Gates for a copy of the minutes of Wc wish above all things to be just, and wrong no one. Mr. I'lctcher tells us iwrsonally that he wrote the article for the Portland paper at the same time he did the first article for the Review; but that it was held up several days before it was published, which mad it look as if he had repeated his first assertions after we had refuted them.
